Shin Captain Tsubasa
(1989)

Best anime related to Captain Tsubasa
This is the best adaptation of a Captain Tsubasa story, really, it has perfect timing, I mean, the original Captain Tsubasa TV series (1983)was hardly criticized because of the excessive length of the final matches (which can be as 15 episodes long). But this Shin Captain Tsubasa has a very good rhythm so you never get bored watching it. And the OST is brilliant, it really transmits the viewer the joy of playing football. Shin Captain Tsubasa is situated right after the ending of the Japan National High School Football Championships, it shows the Juvenile Japanese National Team taking part in the U-16 World Cup in France.

Kôdo Giasu: Hangyaku no Rurûshu
(2006)

We expected more of this second season
Code Geass R2 really got everyone disappointed. I mean, season 1 was awesome, an excellent story line, brilliant characters, unpredicted events. It had every good thing a masterpiece should have. But this second part is quite redundant, it recycles the same structure as the one used in the first season. And what's more, the story line related to Lelouch's mother and her mysterious death is revealed very quickly in only one episode, and after that, it seems not to matter anymore to Lelouch, although he was thinking about that almost his entire life. The only good thing this series had is the finale, which I think is one of the most unpredictable endings of the story of anime. And only because of it, this season 2 deserves up to 5 points out of 10.

Bîto ekkusu
(1996)

An excellent choice
This is one of the finest, B't X is an anime which can make you feel thrilled with the heat of every battle, and make you cry ,all of that combined with a superb OST from Akira Senjuu (composer of FMA music). A brilliant story line, situated in a fictional apocalyptic future, it focus on the idea of an organization which commits several crimes claiming they're doing those things for justice. And a greater mystery behind the machine emperor, which will go revealing itself through every episode. B't X is the best work of Kurumada, even better than his other acclaimed "Saint Seiya". It has a mystic, a flow, which can rarely be found in other series.
